YOUNG people are being encouraged to attend a learners' forum to help them secure education, training and employment.

Stockton Entry 2 Employment Network is holding the event at Billingham Forum, Billingham, tomorrow, between 10am and 2pm.

The event will include the chance to discuss the issue with all the training providers in the borough and attend motivational team activities run by The Green Howards.

More than 60 young people aged 16 to 18 are expected to attend the event, which has been organised by Stockton Borough Council's youth service in partnership with the council's training and employment services, City Centre Training and Stockton Riverside College.

A number of other support agencies will operate stands and their staff will attend to discuss the services that are available to young people.
